“Radio doesn’t have an audio-consumption problem. It has an audio-allocation problem.
People haven’t stopped loving audio. They simply have many more places they would rather spend some of those 234 minutes.” Dave Van Dyke, President & CEO, Bridge Ratings Media Research
“There’s something pretty special about radio. It can make you laugh on your morning commute, keep you company on a long drive, break your heart with the right song, and somehow make you feel like the person behind the microphone is talking just to you.” Nikki H. – General Manager for Vancouver Island & BC Coast, Vista Radio Ltd.
“Before podcasts filled our phones, before streaming gave us millions of songs on demand, and long before anyone asked an algorithm to build the perfect playlist, there was radio. And radio is still here.” Jerry Butler, Senior Consultant, MusicMaster

But today is National Radio Day, giving us all a chance to take a deliberate pause and celebrate the industry that we all love.” Terry Bishop, Broadcast-Marketing Specialist, Midway Broadcasting Corporation
“It’s National Radio Day. […] It was a fun way to make a living. I salute those who still do and all those who used to do this, you are my brothers and sisters. There was nothing better than live, spontaneous, flying by the seat of your pants radio.” Matthew Arnett, In-House Marketing Coordinator, Marriott Vacations Worldwide
“Radio, admittedly, has its share of pressures right now, as you’ve seen across our headlines. But today is National Radio Day, giving us all a chance to take a deliberate pause and celebrate the industry that we all love. […] Few industries get to be this much fun and this essential at the same time.” Terry Bishop, Broadcast Media-Marketing Specialist, Midway Broadcasting Corporation
“Radio isn’t always easy and it doesn’t always love us back. But we stay in the fight because we believe in the voice, the people, and the purpose.” Bo Jackson, Advertising Professional
“Today is National Radio Day, and we’re celebrating something we believe every day: Radio matters.” Rachel Delaney, Baltimore Public Media
